1 Claim.

' My invention relates to improvements in reflector supports of the type illustrated and described in an application filed by me on January trated in the accompanying drawing in which I Figure 1 shows the new reflector support mounted on the globe in a secured position and supporting a reflector, the reflector and the reflector support are shown in section.

Fig. 2 shows the reflector support on the globe in a loosely slidable position in which the springflngers engage the globe on a circle spaced from its major circle.

Fig. 3 is a detailed view of a segment of the reflector support shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Fig. 4 is a detailed view of the reflector support on line 44 in Fig. 3, and showing a segment'oi the globe with which the spring-fingers ot the reflector support is in loosely slidable relight source 3. A rigid annular member 4 supports the reflector 5, and is dimensioned to be supported by the surface of the globe spaced from its major circle I, as it is shown in Fla. 1.

From the annular member 4 extend springflngers I, I, which engage the globe I about its major circle 8 under stress, whereby they support the reflector 5 in position. When the reflector support 4 is lifted to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 4 the inward movement of the spring-fingers I is limited by the rigid flange 8 extending down from the reflector supporting member 4, so that the spring-fingers 'l engage the globe 2 loosely slidable on the circle 9 of the globe, whereby they are relatively close but spaced from the major circle 6 so as to facilitate adjustment of the reflector from the loosely slidable position, shown in Fig. 2, to the secured position, shown in Fig. 1. The spring-fingers I are of a construction causing them to engage the flange 8 under stress, so that they retain their operative efliciency when in long use, and so that they engage the globe at a circle spaced from its major circle 6 but relatively close thereto when in loosely slidable position.

This new reflector support is adjustable in the same manner as the reflector support described,

in the above referred to application.

I claim:

In a reflector support, a globe, a rigid annular member and a reflector supported thereby, said member being dimensioned to be supported by said globe spaced from its major circle and havthereto.

LUDWIG SCHWARZMAYR.
